1^st

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 368 Kansas Middle Schools

Better than 100% of Kansas middle schools

Summary

Indian Hills Middle enrolls 879 students in grades 7–8 in Prairie Village, in the Kansas City area, and is the largest of the nearby schools compared here. Its latest reported proficiency rates were 75% in English language arts (ELA), 74% in math and 72% in science; chronic absenteeism was 11%. The most important finding is its statewide standing: SchoolDigger ranked the school #1 of 368 Kansas schools in 2025–2026, at the 100th percentile with 5 stars.

Indian Hills led the four nearby Shawnee Mission middle schools serving grades 7–8 in all three subjects. Its lead over the next-highest peer, Indian Woods Middle, was 16 points in ELA, 11 in math and 11 in science. Compared with the Shawnee Mission Pub School district, Indian Hills was ahead by 15 points in ELA, 17 in math and 23 in science; its leads over Kansas were 29, 33 and 34 points, respectively. Science is its strongest subject against the district and state, while ELA is its smallest lead. One nearby exception appears in grade-level comparisons: Leawood Middle had higher seventh-grade ELA and math results, while Indian Hills was higher in both subjects in eighth grade.

Results have risen substantially since 2022–2023: Indian Hills gained 21 points in ELA, 17 in math and 25 in science, and its advantage over the state widened in every subject. Its top SchoolDigger standing is part of a sustained record: it has ranked in the 98th–100th percentiles in every year shown since 2015–2016. In 2018–2019, however, SchoolDigger placed the school in the 3rd percentile for how well it served English Language Learner Students, compared with the 99th percentile overall; this is a single historical result. Its Asian Students subgroup percentile rose from 37 in 2018–2019 to 97 in 2022–2023. Other context: the student-teacher ratio was 15.1 in 2024–2025, and the free/reduced-lunch rate was 14%. Absenteeism was 7 points below the district and state rates, both 18%.
